Today's Brain Teaser...........

At a garage sale, Marc is lucky enough to find an old milk crate containing 104 record albums for $26.00. If he could purchase each album individually, how much will Marc pay for the 28 albums that he selects from the crate?

$7.00
Divide your cost by the number of albums, 26.00 / 104 = $0.25 per album. Multiplying the 28 albums you want by the unit cost, 28 x $0.25 = $7.00.

I'd say $7 but I sense a trick question here.....
